August 2017


WOW - why has no one ever told me about the Lake District before? It is a huge adventure playground for dogs! I found water and mountains and more water everywhere. Here I am camping at the highest hostel in England. I got a ride back down the mountain in a 4x4 with some farmers on a grouse shoot and even got to stand with the beaters and watch (I think I could have joined in as I am good at chasing things...).

Even the shops and bars are set up for dogs!

Did I mention there was water everywhere? I enjoyed many a bus trip (open top ones are best) to new swimming spots.


I put my dock jumping skills to good use and jumped in from the jetty (too quick for the camera)!


I also like the idea of water-agility.

It wasn't just water. I enjoyed my trip to Whinlatter Forest where there were lots of statues of animals from the Gruffalo. I thought they might like a spaniel-o 
[editors note: when it was pointed out that statues remain perfectly still, the idea was quickly abandoned].

They also had a "Go Ape" - I didn't see why dogs shouldn't have their own version!


More adventures - this time climbing Helvellyn (it was very windy) then doing some scrambling over Striding Edge.


All these adventures made me hungry...



...and tired.

Sweet dreams ☺
